Determining the length of a kite using the pythagorean theorem

The video tutorial covers the properties of kites, focusing on congruent sides and bisected diagonals forming right angles. The instructor guides students through solving for the length of side BC using the Pythagorean theorem, emphasizing the importance of understanding right triangles and their properties. The session concludes with a recap of the theorem and its application in geometry.
